Back Flow Inventory 11082023.xlsx

This is a Back Flow Inventory spreadsheet documenting backflow prevention devices installed across multiple buildings at the Bedford VA Medical Center as of November 8, 2023. The inventory includes 80+ individual backflow preventers distributed across buildings numbered 2 through 82, with most concentrated in Buildings 2, 3, 10, 78, and 82. Each entry contains the building number, room or location, model number (primarily LF009, LF909, and 009 series variants), and serial number. Most devices are installed in mechanical rooms, basements, penthouses, and HVAC/plumbing system locations such as boiler plants, chilled water systems, domestic hot water lines, and condensate return systems. Several entries lack complete data, including missing inspection dates, pass/fail status, and comments sections, indicating incomplete documentation for certain devices in buildings 2, 4, 7, 12, 22, 78A, 78, and 82.

This inventory directly supports the Bedford VA Medical Center's Steam, Plumbing and HVAC Service Contract (Solicitation 36C24126Q0134), which seeks a qualified contractor to maintain and repair HVAC, steam systems, and plumbing infrastructure at the medical center in Bedford, MA and a secondary location in Lowell, MA. The backflow prevention devices documented in this spreadsheet are critical components of the facility's water and steam systems that require regular inspection, maintenance, and potential repair under the service contract. This set-aside solicitation for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS code 238220 indicates that successful contractors will need to be familiar with and capable of servicing the wide range of backflow preventer models and configurations maintained throughout the facility.
